Title: A bike for MMRanch...
Post by badwolf on 07/11/21 at 15:45:14

Mike, I found the perfect bike for you to run around with Dave on his Trail 90 -

And they bill it as ac''Farm Bike'' maybe you could even write it off for your ranch!

I've always wanted to ride a tw200. The look like they would be fun. MM would love it.

Yes , MMRanch would love to have one of them or the Suzuki version either.

Really , for the same $$$ I could get the Royal Enfield 400cc version with the same fuel millage.

So many toys and so little time !!! :-[

.................

I almost hate to admit it , but I ride the W650 more than any of the ones I have . Its "Well Mannered" and "Capable" at the same time.
I'd still take the Guzzi if going on a long ride.
The LS650 handles better and pulls just about as strong - especially at lower RPMs.
I don't like the chain drive or the tube tires , but its still got the best and easiest to live with manners. 8-)

Torn between three lovers !!!

:)

..............
So if Dave starts bring the Trail 90 to play in the dirt with and we want to play too , I might get serious about another toy ? ;)

I took the Ohio BMC course on a TW200. It'd be a great bike for around town or rural two lanes since I'd bet the top speed would ohly be 55-60. And my only issue was the bumpity-bump of the big knobby on the back was annoying on the parking lot after 2 days.

A bit too expensive for me and MM.....but a nice pair!

And if MM buys an Africa Twin - I expect to see him use it properly.

I was amazed at what the big African twin could do till I noticed it was really a CRF 250 twin. ;D

Not that I'm likely to be doing any of that stuff on either bike ! :-[

I must be getting old ! Those jumping around and over stunts gave me a case of "Drop-Jaw" instead of "Envy and Challenge"

:)

Bigger is not always Better !

Hay , if we knew someone who is a "Trials Bike" rider , I'd think they could do that stuff ! ::)

The first half of the video is a white African Twin.....the second half is the red CR250 single.

Toni Bou is the undefeated National Champion Trials rider for a good reason! He does unbelievable things on any bike he rides!

That stuff defies physics as I thought I understood it ! 8-)

To a trails rider, the laws of physics are just guidelines.
